I have a gallon of wort that's 1.036 OG. I want to raise the OG to about 1.045ish. How much DME do I need to add to accomplish this. Is there a good formula online? I know that 1 lb of DME in 1 gallon of water = 1.046. I'm not starting from scratch, though.

lets see
45 - 36 = 9
9/46 * 1 gallon = 0.2 lb.

Put your ingredients in and it will calculate everything from IBUs to OG to estimated FG.

I'm still not sure math isn't magic... not unlike the original brewers thought fermentation was "magic"! LOL If I didn't have software, this forum and a few books I'd be lost, even after brewing as long as I have! I really wish I had a head for numbers, especially since I've moved to all grain!
